Guidekin's take

An afternoon walk through the Vieux Lyon murals and traboules with four tasting breaks, from regional cold cuts with a glass of red to the sweet finish, timed to lead into your evening.

It needs two people booked to run and may be cancelled with a refund or alternative if not; teenagers must be accompanied. 4.85 from 365 reviews at €75 per person.

In our comparison: #12 of 12 in Food Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
